Foi Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Its not one line I know... but the last few lines of the The Drifter - Ray Pollard is just out of this world, as is the whole of the song as a matter of fact! The end is the part of the tune that i reckon reaches its highest emotional intensity, if you dont feel a little of the gut wrenching emotions from it then you certainly ain't human! "oohh I'm just a drifter I go from town to town, I'm just a drifter but I wasnt always down, cos once i had a girl by my side, a love so strong that money couldnt buy no, no, no but heaven called and took her away, out of my arms and left me to wander..." All the lyrics to the whole song just get to me everytime, always has done...sheer emotion... Edited May 19, 2015 by foi
KevH Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 "It takes a man with insight yes it does,to really understand,we all go through changes in life before we become a man" "don't let today's problems get you down"
Daved Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) "You're like a royal flush, next to a pair of threes" Lots of great lines in that song. Edited May 19, 2015 by daved

Back Street Blue Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 "In the middle of the night I wake up screaming"....soul twins-QCA Always found that line slightly disturbing! But love the lyrics all the way through Gene Chandler's "nothing can stop me"

Peter99 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Harry Hippie, lies asleep in the shade Life don't bug him 'cause he thinks he's got it made He never worry about nothin' in particular Oh he might even sell free press on sunset I'd like to help a man when he's down But I can't help him much When he's sleepin' on the ground He's like a bottle in water Harry just floats through life Walks around all day long singin' this song Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh yeah.........................................................

Westender Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 "I may be down and out and got holes in my shoes but I still feel as rich as Howard Hughes" Love that line from Home is where the heart is by Bobby Womack. "I got sunshine when the clouds are gray, when its cold outside I got the month of May" Not too many better opening lines that that I reckon.
